Doctors: Wait & See

The American Medical Association has one
pain that two aspirins and a good night's sleep won't ease, and that is
President Johnson's medicare proposals. Last week 24,000 members of the
A.M.A. swarmed into Manhattan for their annual convention. The question
of what to do about medicareor, more precisely, how to oppose itwas
the main issue facing the A.M.A.'s governing body. There was very
little it could do that would be effective, since the House of
Representatives has already passed a medicare bill, and the Senate
Finance Committee has just approved a similar draft.
